Prior to Ross I studied linguistics, Spanish, and German at Northwestern University. After graduation I moved to Germany where I worked as a Fulbright Scholar and then pivoted into project management with a German trade show organizer. It was through this work that I realized what I really wanted to do: help companies build out their global expansion strategy. This highlighted a fundamental gap in my skillset and led me to Ross. Ross's wealth of global opportunities, such as the Multidisciplinary Action Project (MAP), study abroad, and the Global Internship Program will provide me with the strongest foundation possible to become a global strategist in the health/wellness or regenerative travel industries. Beyond world-class academics, what really drew me to Ross was the student body. Everyone is eager to collaborate and support one another - and is always ready to tailgate! Outside of classes I love to workout on our driveway and wave to everyone walking back from class. Talk to me if you have any questions about global opportunities at Ross or applying to business school from a non-traditional background. I look forward to connecting, and Go Blue!
